Iron Cobra

Iron Cobra (2002–2010) was a Canadian improv comedy duo composed of Becky Johnson and Graham Wagner best known for their aggressive and awkward brand of comedy.

Performance history

Iron Cobra formed in 2002 as an ad-hoc team for then-emerging Toronto competitive improv show, Catch23 Improv. Their first out-of-town booking was in 2004 at the Atlanta Improv Festival hosted by Dad's Garage Theatre. From there, the duo would go on to tour to festivals and stand-aloe bookings in Edmonton, Rochester, Minneapolis, Vancouver, Nashville, Chicago, Providence and more.

Although influential throughout the Toronto improv scene of the 2000s, Iron Cobra would eventually disband officially in 2010 as Wagner moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a television writer while Johnson focused on continued live performance and touring. Their last tour would be undertaken by Johnson alone. The 2010 Without Graham European Tour would mark their first tour of Europe and their last official booking, even though the entire tour happened without Wagner.

gollark: Footballs use pentagons and hexagons, actually.
gollark: I have no affiliation with pizza companies.
gollark: I did not.
gollark: This is NOT true. I have not in any way been sponsored by pizza companies. There have been no advertising agreements whatsoever with any companies producing pizza or otherwise to have me subliminally advertise pizza, as my profile picture is not a pizza. Since it is not a pizza, this is obviously not pizza advertisement whatsoever. No monetary exchanges or otherwise have occurred with companies engaged in pizza production for any reason relating to my profile picture. You are clearly engaged in libel and attempting to discredit my non-pizza-advertising status. It is IN NO WAY subliminal pizza advertising because I DO NOT work for pizza companies in any form. It's not pizza. There were no deals, under-the-table or otherwise, with pizza companies. No pizza companies pay for any kind of subliminal advertising involving me. People make that mistake, but I am not working for pizza companies doing subliminal advertising; that is not in any way what I am doing. I am NOT being sponsored by ANY pizza companies to display subliminal pizza advertising OF ANY KIND.
gollark: It's an infinite tiling of the hyperbolic plane with heptagons and hexagons.
